Tonight’s tea was Aloo Gobhi, taken from Jamie Oliver’s Jamie’s Ministry Of Food, an excellent recipe book with lots of different food ideas that literally anybody should be able to cook. Unfortunately, the outcome was not quite as good as hoped for, though I take full responsibility. The lesson to be taken from this blog post is that sometimes – just sometimes – it is possible to miss out too many ingredients from a recipe.
The recipe as written
1 medium onion
2-3 fresh green chillies
thumb-sized piece of fresh root ginger
small bunch of fresh coriander
half a cauliflower
500g potatoes
groundnut or vegetable oil
knob of butter
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 level teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
salt and pepper
1 lemon
Ingredients as used
1 medium onion
half a cauliflower
500g potatoes
vegetable oil
knob of butter
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 level teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper
Looking at it like that, it’s not hard to understand why it was all rather tasteless!
There ends the lesson.
